<td nowrap="nowrap" value="FO2180TL" class="colPadding" id="salesOrderNumber1">bla bla <td>

then i tried this-

var  soNum = $('#salesOrderNumber1').val()

Which should return me FO2180TL but it didn't. How Can i get 开发者_如何学编程that TD value...

Thanks in advance!!!

Try this

$('#salesOrderNumber1').attr("value");

i think you should use $('#salesOrderNumber1').attr('value'); instead jquery selectors Jquery ref selector

You can get it by $('#salesOrderNumber1').attr('value');
